Cleveland Guardians Insights
- Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)Tanner Bibee has a reverse platoon split and has the misfortune of squaring off against 7 same-handed batters in today’s matchup.Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform worse against same-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be worse against a right-handed hitter). Losing this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Patrick Bailey – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-115/-115)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Patrick Bailey in the 11th percentile as it relates to his batting average talent.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.

- Rhys Hoskins – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+185/-245)Rhys Hoskins pulls many of his flyballs (41.8% — 99th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
